Bing Crosby: "Swinging on a Star" from Going My Way



Swinging on a star is a nice lightharted song that first appeared in the movie "Going my way" (1944) starring Bing Crosby. Here is a video clip from "Going my way" where Bing Crosby sings Swinging on a star.

The song is written by Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Burke and won an Oscar for "Best song" in the 1944 Academy awards, where the film also was voted the "Best motion picture" and Bing Crosby was voted "Best actor".

Another great film nominated this year was the short film "Jammin the blues" by Gjon Mili.

What do you think of Bing Crosby singing Swinging on a star? Tell me.
